Car trouble is the last thing you want when you’re out on a road trip. To ensure everything goes to plan, it’s always a good idea to run through some basic checks before you set off:
- Top up your fuel, oil and radiator coolant
- Check your tyre pressure
- Test your windscreen wipers and fluid
- Scan your dashboard and ensure everything is displayed correctly and no warning lights are on
- Check that the spare tyre is secured and in a good condition
- Make sure your lights and indicators are working
For additional peace of mind, you may also want to visit your nearest official workshop for a quick and thorough check-up.
Online connectivity
SEAT CONNECT has a range of benefits that will help you before, during and after your journey. You can pre-acclimatise your cabin so it’s the perfect temperature for when you step in. You’ll also be able to find convenient points of interest en route, with the ability to search for petrol stations and available parking spaces in real-time. Once you’ve explored a new town, the SEAT CONNECT app will even help guide you back to your parking space.

Classic car games
Why not kick start the holiday fun early on? Watch the time fly by with some classic car games. No matter how many times you’ve played, they’re timeless for a reason:
- I Spy. Spot an object in passing, give that initial clue and let the other players guess your word.
- Say a word and each player has to sing a song that includes that word.
- Guess the song. Using your car radio or Spotify, take turns skipping the station or the song and let other players guess the artist and the song title.
